What is naloxone and why is it important?
Drug overdose continues to be the main cause of death among problem drug users. Heroin or other opioids — often consumed alongside other central nervous system depressants such as benzodiazepines and alcohol — are present in the majority of reported fatal overdoses (1). Overdose is common among opioid users: many of them have experienced a non-fatal overdose and most have witnessed one. Death from opioid overdose is caused primarily by respiratory depression leading to cardiac arrest.
Opioid overdose deaths can be prevented through timely administration of naloxone, a potent opioid antagonist drug that rapidly reverses the effects of opioid analgesics by binding to the opioid receptors in the central nervous system (see Spotlight: Naloxone). Because of its effectiveness, naloxone is used by emergency personnel worldwide (2). (EMCDDA, Lissabon, 31.08.2021)

Study to prevent deaths from opioid overdose shows promising results
A study undertaken in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine has shown that training people most likely to witness an opioid overdose and providing them with naloxone, a drug that reduces the effects of overdose if administered rapidly, has the potential to significantly reduce the number of deaths in these countries if scaled up nationwide.

USA. The US Faces a Naloxone Shortage at the Worst Possible Time
Life expectancy in the United States plunged by a year and a half in 2020, the worst year-on-year change since World War II. Drug overdoses were the second-most influential factor, behind the obvious: COVID-19. Fatal overdoses reached their highest recorded levels last year: 93,000. The surge continues into 2021 and is dovetailing with an unfathomable related crisis: a national shortage of naloxone, the “antidote” to opioid overdose. (Filter Magazine, USA, 29.07.2021)

NALtrain - Konzeption, Umsetzung und Evaluation eines wissenschaftlichen Modellprojekts zur Durchführung deutschlandweiter qualitätsgesicherter Take-Home Naloxon Schulungen
Am 01.07.2021 ist das vom Bundesministerium für Gesundheit (BMG) geförderte Modellprojekt zur Nalxon-Take-Home Vergabe gestartet. Ziel ist die Befähigung von Mitarbeitenden von Drogenhilfeinrichtungen Drogengebrauchende im Umgang mit dem Naloxon-Nasenspray zu schulen. Begleitend wird ein Netzwerk an Ärzt*innen aufgebaut um die Versorgung mit Naloxon zu gewährleisten. Das Projekt wird von der deutschen Aidshilfe, Akzept e.V. und dem Institut für Suchtforschung (ISFF) durchgeführt. Wir laden Sie herzlich ein sich zu beteiligen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie auf unserer Homepage oder Sie wenden sich direkt per Mail an uns (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein!).

NALtrain -Konzeption, Umsetzung und Evaluation eines wissenschaftlichen Modellprojekts zur Durchführung deutschlandweiter qualitätsgesicherter Take-Home Naloxon Schulungen
Hintergrund
Etwa 600 Menschen sind 2020 infolge des Konsums von Heroin und anderen Opioiden gestorben. Viele dieser Todesfälle hätten aber durch den Einsatz eines Naloxon-Nasensprays vermieden werden können. Das einfach und sicher anwendbare Medikament Naloxon kann innerhalb weniger Minuten die atemlähmende Wirkung von Opioiden wie Heroin, Fentanyl oder Methadon aufheben und damit Leben retten. Doch bislang kommt das Notfallmedikament viel zu wenig zum Einsatz: 2019 wurde das verschreibungspflichtige, aber erstattungsfähige Nasenspray nur etwa 370 Mal an Drogengebraucher*innen ausgegeben – bei geschätzten 165.000 Opioidkonsument*innen in Deutschland.

‘Stop Overdose Safely’: How UNODC and WHO save lives by managing opioid overdose in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine
The ‘Stop Overdose Safele’ is a joint initiative from UNODC and the World Health Organization (WHO) to address opioid overdose and provide life-saving medications to those in need. The initiative serves as a platform for exchange and mutual support to effectively prevent and manage overdose. (UNODC, Wien, 06.05.2021)

Take-Home Naloxone: The Peoples’ Overdose Antidote
Given the high prevalence of opioid mortality rates around the globe, naloxone, an opioid antagonist, has become a crucial medication that can reverse an opioid overdose within minutes. In an attempt to bring naloxone into the community, take-home naloxone programmes provide naloxone kits together with training in overdose management and administration to members of the public.

Schottland. Overdose awareness and naloxone posters go live in Scotland
This month a new overdose awareness and naloxone poster campaign launched in various cities throughout the UK.
Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse the effects of opioids. It can save a person’s life if it is used quickly after an overdose is taken.
The posters feature the faces of real community naloxone carriers and their stories of why they carry naloxone, and have gone up in locations around Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee, including Argyle Street in Glasgow, and Calton Road in Edinburgh. (sdf – Scottish Drugs Forum, UK, 04.05.2021)

USA. The Price of Saving a Life: Naloxone’s Cost Barrier in the US
When I walk into my local pharmacy to pick up a naloxone kit, I don’t need to present a prescription. I don’t even need to state my reason for needing naloxone (I’m an opioid-dependent pain patient and I frequently interview people who use illicit opioids). The pharmacist asks whether I prefer the nasal spray or the injectable version, then takes me through a five-minute orientation, explaining how to use it to save someone else’s life. Then I leave with my kit.
No money changes hands. I owe nothing. My choice of injectable versus nasal spray is driven by my own comfort, not by their respective costs.
I live in Toronto. But in the United States, where the crisis of opioid-involved overdose deaths is raging (as it is in Canada) beyond anything we’ve seen before, naloxone access is limited—not just by stigma and outdated, restrictive laws, but also by its rising cost. (Filter, USA, 29.0.4.2021)
